Universal Basic Income proposes to guarantee every person a floor of unconditional income — an idea that reason finds genuinely compelling in a world where technology is disrupting the relationship between labor and livelihood. The questions worth asking are not whether people would stop working, which the evidence does not support, but how the floor is set, how it is funded, and what it is designed to replace or preserve. The proposal deserves more than reflexive rejection or uncritical enthusiasm.
